The method
Step by step
- 1

Cook’s note: Any type of milk, dairy or non-dairy, works well for this recipe.
- 2
Stir in the grated apple, lemon juice, honey, raisins, and slivered almonds.

Cook’s note: The lemon juice helps prevent the apple from browning and adds a nice zest.
- 3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
About 6 hr
